Last week, the Mississippi legislature passed historic design-build transportation legislation dramatically expanding the Mississippi Transportation Commission’s design-build and alternative delivery authority. The passage of this bill would give the Mississippi Transportation Commission arguably the broadest alternative delivery authority of any state transportation agency in America. https://lnkd.in/e8Fa9BvT

Yesterday, urbanist and futurist Greg Lindsay gave the Opening Keynote presentation, "Where the Robots Meet the Road," for #DBIATranspo. He discussed some technology we may see in the future and helped provoke our imaginations about what tomorrow may bring.

The #DBIATranspo Exhibit Hall is open! Visit the booths, win prizes, meet new industry partners and learn about all the resources available for transportation and aviation leaders.

Each of our Spring conferences has an Owners' and Practitioners' Forum. These forums provide an excellent opportunity for Owners and Practitioners to discuss their specific project needs. #DBIATranspo Photo by Robb McCormick Photography (robbmccormick.com)
